Experimentalists and theorists search for Higgs bosons escaping as dark matter.

From APS Physics, May 14, 2020: Particle physicists are faced with a growing list of anomalies — experimental results that conflict with the Standard Model but fail to overturn it for lack of sufficient evidence. These include the muon anomaly, which scientists on Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment are studying. Fermilab scientist Chris Polly is featured in this article.

From the American Geosciences Institute, May 2020: Fermilab scientist Jessica Esquivel is featured in this series on women in STEM, hosted by the American Geosciences Institute.

From Quanta Magazine, May 6, 2020: Two ways of approximating the ultracomplicated math that governs quark particles have recently come into conflict, leaving physicists unsure what their decades-old theory predicts. Fermilab scientists Andreas Kronfeld and Chris Polly weigh in.

Hector Carranza Jr. of the University of Texas at Arlington has received the prestigious Department of Energy Office of Science Graduate Student Research award, or SCGSR, to conduct his research at Fermilab. DOE awarded the fellowship to 62 students from U.S. universities. He will work on light-mass dark matter searches at the ICARUS neutrino experiment.

From NCTV17, May 12, 2020: Fermilab scientists Jen Raaf and Liz Sexton-Kennedy appear in this three-minute segment on the worldwide project to help build a simplified ventilator in the fight against COVID-19, the Mechanical Ventilator Milano.

From the University of Chicago, May 12, 2020: A round of AI + Science grants awarded by the University of Chicago’s Office of Research and National Laboratories Joint Task Force Initiative supports new AI applications to boost scientific discovery and education. Awardees include Fermilab scientists Brian Nord, Charles Thangaraj and Nhan Tran.

From Sanford Underground Research Facility, May 12, 2020: Part I in Sanford Lab’s series exploring the science goals of the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment discusses antimatter, CP violation and the origins of the universe.

From WBBM Newsradio: May 7, 2020: Fermilab scientist Stephen Brice is featured in this piece on a new, simple ventilator that has received FDA approval. The ventilator that was created by scientists from several countries, including more than a dozen Fermilab scientists. The Mechanical Ventilator Milano was inspired by a device built in the 1960s.

From The Great Courses Daily, May 5, 2020: Fermilab scientist Dan Hooper writes about how Einstein’s failure in achieving a unified field theory didn’t stop the others. Physicists continue to search for a theory of everything that unites the effects of general relativity with the quantum mechanical nature of our world.
